Wonderful family photos! Gorgeous scenery. I'll be bringing John back to see that bridge. He's probably seen it in a book somewhere, though these are great shots and he's always interested in such things. Skagway looks like a fun place and now I just want to know if anyone purchased a shirt from the Alaska Shirt Company.

We have also taken that train ride and found it as fascinating and beautiful as you did. The stories told of the hard work and grit of those early miners and settlers makes us wonder if our generation would ever be able to accomplish as much. I believe that railway is one of the few narrow gauge ones in the country.

I'd love that train ride. No one has ever convinced me to visit Alaska until your started posting this trip. Again...you are so gifted in travel posts.I love the photos of the children and especially the sleepy little man and his mama.

Were you all swaying even after you got off the boat for the walk into town? What a fun little town to visit and I'm sure it survives because of the cruise ship stops! You know me...I'd like to poke around in that little cemetery! So many questions...Is that middle flag the B.C. flag? Great photos Judy!

I have just read through all of your Alaska posts. I can't think of a nicer way to celebrate 40 years of marriage. What a wonderful experience for all of you. The photos are gorgeous and the posts so informative and interesting.

We drove up that way instead of taking the train. Amazing scenery, and it really does give one pause to think of the Gold Rush fever and the efforts that went into constructing roads and bridges in that part of the world.

Hello, boy all these memories that are coming back! 1999 and our trip to Alaska with you guys! Pierre and I came down from Whitehorse(where you had droped us off) to Skagway (bus and the famous train) and took the ferry to Bellingham - jusz had no Disney on board :-) .Greetings to everybody! Ute

I can't imagine any place being more beautiful than the places you shared today. I appreciate what you said about the amazing bridge being built, and the marvel of it all. I like how Micah fell asleep during something he could not wait to participate in. That is me sometimes,and it gave me a smile.

This trip certainly had to be a huge milestone for the adults and children alike. You documented it perfectly.

Such spectacular scenery on the trai ride, Judy! It does look likean engineering marvel. How hard the men long ago must worked to build that. Seeing Micah sleeping made me smile as my older grandson was so excited to ride a NYC subway when in town for his aunt's wedding, and then promptly fell asleep after a few stops.

Amazing sights and views on your little side trip. I don't know about riding over that high trestle though! A little scary for me. Thanks for the tour. It looks like a wonderful trip. My friend thinks she was on the same cruise with you as she remembers a family and a couple celebrating their 40th. Small world!

Welcome here...so glad you stopped by.

Let’s have a cup of coffee together and chat for awhile...mostly about family, friends, food, farming, faith and a few of my favorite pastimes...did I mention travelling? Life itself is a journey...may you find some encouragement here as I share bits and pieces along the way.

I hope you enjoy your visit and welcome your thoughts.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Psalm 103:1
